1972

One of five water management districts created by the Water Resources Act of 1972, the Northwest Florida Water Management District is charged with managing the water resources of the Florida panhandle.

Nineteen water segments in the Middle St Johns River Basin were listed by DEP as 303(d). The designation refers to section 303(d) of the 1972 Clean Water Act and means that the areas do not have sufficient water quality to meet their stated beneficial uses — such as drinking or recreational use.
